AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'There's trouble a-brewing in the port of Sydney and most of it seems to be centered around the hot nightclub known as the Green Kookaburra. It doesn't take more than a murder or two to get the cadaverous Inspector Tyson on the job and, with the help of retired thespian J. Montague Belmore, he soon finds that blame can be laid on the eleventh plague to come out of Egypt: marihuana! There's just no telling what a reefer-puffer will do. Norman Berrow brings the streets and people of 1950's Sydney to life as no one ever has in this action-packed novel.' (From Ramble House's website.)
